What You Will Learn?
- Visible mending is a modern trend that has become popular in the West thanks to an increasing popularity of sashiko, an embroidery stitching culture in Japan. Many cultures also have similar traditions, borne out of the need for warm sturdy clothing at a time and place where replacing your clothing is at best impractical and at worst impossible, combined with the human desire to make something beautiful. In most places now (and almost certainly for people who have access to this class), visible mending isn’t a necessity but a choice borne out of a desire for sustainable fashion practices and a desire to express your own style through your clothes..
- I am one such person. I'm Jax Lily, and I like to learn new things. I've been sewing since I was 6 years old (that's over 20 years!), but I started embroidery over the pandemic and just fell in love with mending and decorating my favorite tattered clothes. I wanted to share some of what worked for me with you!.
